Dismissal
Students are dismissed from class between 11:50-11:55am. With 1,400 students being dismissed from two schools, we have systems in place ensuring everyone is dismissed and finds their transportation safely. On the first day, we will dismiss our students earlier to ensure every student safely arrives with their transportation home.
Picking Up
If you are picking up your child, please find a specific landmark to meet your child each day. If you are late, your child will know to wait at the landmark until you arrive. In addition, we will have a Summer Academy staff member wait with your child until he or she is picked up. We do not allow parents to pick up their children at the classroom. We ask that all meeting places be outside of the school building, but on school grounds.
If you are waiting for your child to arrive home on the bus, you can follow our Twitter account from our home page or by following @NSSummerAcademy. We will tweet out the times the buses leave each day. Buses typically leave 10-15 minutes after the Summer Academy day is complete. Please allow additional time on the first day of dismissal.
If the transportation plans change for your child, please send a note with your child or call the office, 651-895-7337.
“My daughter had a blast! She is a child that does not talk about what happens at school but every day when she got home she told us all about her day. I love it.”
“He was so eager to go each day, & learn new things. He was impressed with his teachers, who seemed supportive and offered him challenges.”
“My daughter told us last night, ‘They don’t do anything in a boring way here. Everything is creative and interesting.’ That is enough endorsement for us. Teaching them learning is about interesting new ideas, curiosity, and wonder is exactly our goal too.”
“My son had a great deal of problems with bullies and other students making fun of him during the school year. Not a child in SA has my son had difficulties with. Thank you for providing an outlet for my son to meet and interact with peers that have similar interests!”
